I got my car detailed around April. I just picked up that new Eagle Nano wax spray that doesn

Is it a wax with any sort of polishing capability, or just a straight wax protectant? IMHO, using a wax with a polishing effect that often would be harmful to the finish. You're removing a small amount of paint and clearcoat each time.

i used turtle wax ice every time i washed for a few weeks then i found out how easy it is to just put on a synthetic and a carnubas coat over it and get amazing results that actually last. i could be mistaken (and probably am) but isnt the spray a booster for the nano wax itself?

you can wax as much as you want. just make sure you remove it real good so you don't end up with allot of wax build up.
So far i have been waxing my car every week trying to look for the best shine out of it....
so far this is my formula
3 coats of Zaino with Z1 then Z2 applied 3 consecutive weeks
1 coat of Klasse 2 step ( silver and red bottle)
1 clay bar after the 4 coats of wax (to get rid of some rough surface which originally came with the car)
2 coats of P21S
Findings,
the Zaino gave it a very clear and bright shine, after 2 coats it was real bright, the 3rd coat didn't do much. i topped it off with Klass trying to get a deep luster, The klasse is a great protectant agains UV, bird dropping contributions and other contaminants. The P21S gave it that liquid luster i was looking for in the paint.
i am going to do a couple of P21S coats and use speed shine for touch ups.
my car is 6 weeks old with 6 coats of liquid bling

here are the pics even threw in my 12 sec neon. I think I earned one of those badges even waxed my trunk and even under my hood . Also LagunaS2K
I thought with a brand new car you shouldn't wax it until 6 months to a year cause you have to let the paint oxidize I could be wrong due to newer paints and procedures but that

You can wash, clay, polish, seal and wax a new car asap - actually I recommend it. The only time you should wait is if the car has some paint work repaired and they don't oven bake it after they have finished - if they don't leave it for a month.
LagunaS2k - I think your Klasse is removing your Zaino!
If you are using both the red and the silver bottles - it is the red one (all - in - one) that is removing it. The silver one can be used just fine. But the all-in-one has cleaning/ oxidation removal properties and I think it would remove the Zaino. Also I don't think applying Zaino over the top of P21S will 'bond'. And claying after wax/ polish has been applied will remove it all/ some of it.
Not sure whether your process flow is how you actually apply it - so apologies if I have read this wrong
I stand corrected on the above but this is my take.
S2000 x - please let me know your tire shine product - it looks like Meguairs but please confirm???
Thanks Rob
